Wait till it's done blooming, trim it back, and WEAR PROTECTION! LOL....




You're supposed to leave a pile of loosened dirt - an upside down cone shape - in the hole and set the rose's roots on that. Be sure not to plant deeper than the *heart*. You'll notice the thickest part of the trunk, it's almost a ball or lump - that's the heart.

Right at the top of the trunk, where that gets thick, leave some of that out of the dirt - I leave an inch or two exposed, make sure the soft roots are in the dirt.

Than tamp it in and water/feed like any other plant.

I've moved almost all my roses and they do fine. Only problem - usually, the root will grow back, and you wind up with some wild rose you don't want, because they're all grafts these days...

I'm trying to find an herbicide that'll kill off about 6 of that kind of rose right now.



Round Up for poison Ivy, you think?



now you know why roses symbolize love, cuz they have a heart.
